A MESSAGE FROM MCC PRESIDENT & CEO CHUCK DAVIDSON A STRONG, UNIFIED VOICE OF BUSINESS IN MANITOBA E very year, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce takes time to recognize and celebrate the men and women leading and driving Manitoba forward. Just a few weeks ago, we marked the 35th Manitoba Business Awards with the stories of the businesses that are not only working to better our province, but also looking to leave an indelible mark on their employees and community. For this year's edition, MCC continued our partnership with her Honour Janice Filmon, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, in recognizing an outstanding individual and business for their commitment to Manitoba. This year it was a privilege to celebrate Albert El Tassi, who has dedicated his career to leaving Manitoba better than he found it, and StandardAero for all they do for the province as a leader in aerospace and philanthropy. As we bring to a close the 87th year of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, we are buoyed by the feedback we have received from our first Manitoba Business Outlook survey. With this new piece to our policy and advocacy efforts, MCC is looking to strengthen our voice with credible information that reflects the challenges and confidence that Manitoba businesses are currently feeling. Our message is strong, but it's made stronger as a unified voice for business in Manitoba thanks to a growing provincial network. On behalf of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, its dedicated staff, our 70 local Chambers, and close to 10,000 member businesses, we thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the latest edition of MBiz magazine, which celebrates business in this great province.
